Economical Insurance is tackling the cybersecurity challenges of businesses with its new Expert Cyber product.“Cyber security is a growing area of concern for businesses of all sizes,” says Fabian Richenberger, executive vice president of commercial insurance at Economical, in a statement. “From internal breaches caused deliberately or inadvertently by staff, to computer systems frozen by ransom-demanding hackers, a company’s entire operation can be critically compromised with a few clicks of a mouse. How the company responds in the hours and days that follow a breach can make or break the business.”
